Southern cooking is all about putting love and passion into every bite. Whether you’re searing a steak or braising greens, Dolly Parton is here to help with her latest collaboration with Lodge.

While most know Parton for her chart-topping music career with hits such as “9 to 5,” “Jolene” and “Islands in the Stream,” she is also an accomplished cook. As part of a large family in Tennessee, Parton cooked out of necessity, falling in love with southern cuisine along the way. With that perspective in mind and a slew of food-related collaborations under her belt, this Lodge partnership just made sense.

In fact, this is the second time Parton has partnered with Lodge. Every piece can be shopped right now at Lodge’s website, but you’ll want to act fast. These cookware items won’t be in stock forever, especially not with Parton fans on the hunt for the star’s latest and greatest pieces.

A purple Dutch oven.

The collection consists of enameled Dutch ovens in varying sizes, along with coordinating colorful enameled trivets in the shape of music notes. Each piece is imbued with unmistakable Parton touches, what with the butterfly and music-note motifs throughout and the glitter-kissed porcelain finish that makes these pieces shine in the low light. If you’re a die-hard Parton fan or just looking to try out some of Lodge’s cookware, we recommend adding these limited-edition pieces to your cart.

As previously mentioned, the Dutch oven is enameled cast iron, which is more durable than traditional cast iron finishes. The finish prevents rust, eliminates the need for seasoning, making it low maintenance and provides a non-reactive surface ideal for acidic ingredients such as tomatoes. The Dollyfied Dutch oven retails for $89.95, but varies based on size.

You’ve got three sizes to choose from, along with three custom colors — Mountain Mist, Blush & Bashful and Islands in the Stream — all references to her historic career. These options give prospective buyers a multitude of ways to express themselves in the kitchen. Dutch ovens are used for braising meats, making soups and stews, deep frying and even baking bread.

A trivet to protect your surfaces from heat.

Similarly, the trivets, retailing for $39.95, come in those same custom colors as the Dutch oven, and are shaped like musical notes. If you’re not familiar with kitchen gadgets, a trivet is a stand that is placed beneath a hot pot or pan to protect your countertops or table’s surface. These trivets are long lasting and chip resistant thanks to that handy-dandy enamel coating. They’re also just downright adorable, especially when paired with a matching Dollyfied Dutch oven.

Tyler, the Creator is a savant when it comes to studying the history of music, and he’s among the many artists and fans who were shaken following the loss of D’Angelo on Tuesday (Oct. 14).

The Grammy-winning rapper took to Instagram to reflect on his love for the late R&B legend, which took him back to excitedly taking his birthday money to buy a CD of D’Angelo’s classic sophomore album, Voodoo.

“On my 9th birthday, march 6 2000, i landed at Sam Goody at the south bay galleria,” he wrote. “I had $20 in birthday money and my eyes set on leaving with one thing. VOODOO by D’Angelo.”

Tyler continued: “Citas world had ‘left&right’ on loop; brown sugar became a staple at home and nothing even matters by ms.hill was on repeat, so i had no doubt that voodoo would deliver. i had no idea that would help shape my musical dna. the amount of raps ive wrote to BOOTY on the front porch that year, the amount of times ive tried to mimic vocal phrasing from SEND IT ON, the scratches the disc ended up with from repeating THE ROOT……too many.”

D’Angelo’s artistry became embedded in the culture of R&B and the neo-soul architect’s brilliance influenced Tyler growing up. Elsewhere in his statement, Tyler revealed that D’Angelo’s soothing “One Mo’Gin” directly influenced Don’t Tap the Glass‘ “RING RING RING.”

“ONE MO’GIN still puts me in the same trance as it did when i first heard it,” he wrote. “That dragging sway of tempo that sounds like a porch sitting rocking chair. that grumpy but loose bassline. the subject of it, that feeling hes describing felt like a mirror. I took that and wrote RING RING RING (hence the one mo gin line). i couldnt understand how someone could write something so simple but personal but broad but genius. thats how special he was. a savant. a true alien.”

Tyler added: “I am so lucky to have gotten my copy of VOODOO when i did. we are so lucky to have been alive to enjoy his art. my musical dna was helped shaped by this man. forever grateful. safe travels.”

D’Angelo’s family confirmed in a statement to Billboard that the music visionary died at 51 years old on Tuesday (Oct. 14) following a battle with cancer.

“The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life,” the statement read. “After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce that Michael D’Angelo Archer, known to his fans around the world as D’Angelo, has been called home, departing this life today, Oct. 14, 2025.”

“We are saddened that he can only leave dear memories with his family, but we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind,” the statement continued. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time but invite you all join us in mourning his passing while also celebrating the gift of song that he has left for the world.” 

Mexican cumbia and pop band Mister Chivo achieves its first No. 1 on a Billboard chart with “¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” with Grupo Frontera, as the song jumps 2-1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart dated Oct. 18.

“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” is Mister Chivo’s first entry on any Billboard songs chart. The sextet from Tamaulipas, Mexico has only charted three times previously, all with albums: two times on Top Regional Mexican Albums (in 1987 and 1991), and once on the now-defunct Latin Album Sales chart (in 2019).

“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” ascends with 6.9 million audience impressions earned in the United States in the week ending Oct. 9, according to Luminate. That’s a 3% gain from the week prior. The song, which pays tribute tothe musical heritage of the 1970s, was released June 11 via BorderTown, marking the indie label’s first chart-topping entry.

“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” sends Los Dos De Tamaulipas’ “Supercargada” to No. 5, after the latter’s 29% dip in impressions during the tracking period. Mirroring Mister Chivo’s breakthrough achievement, Los Dos De Tamaulipas celebrated their first chart-topper on the Oct. 4-dated ranking.

Grupo Frontera collects its 13th No. 1 in just two years. Their previous No. 1, “Me Jaló,” a second chart-topping hit with Fuerza Regida, claimed the top spot in April 2025. Both acts previously dominated Regional Mexican Airplay with the three-week ruler “Bebé Dame” in 2023. That said, here’s a look at Frontera’s collection of No. 1s dating back to Jan. 2023:

Title, Artist, Peak, Weeks at No. 1
“Que Vuelvas,” with Carín León, Jan. 28, 2023, six
“Bebe Dame,” with Fuerza Regida, March 18, 2023, three
“Di Que Sí,” with Grupo Marca Registrada, April 29, 2023, three
“Frágil,” with Yahritza Y Su Esencia, August 12, 2023, one
“El Amor De Su Vida,” with Grupo Firme, Oct. 7, 2023, four
“En Altavoz,” ith Junior H, December 23, 2023, wwo
“Alch,” with Carín León, March 2, 2024, one
“Ya Pedo Quién Sabe,” with Christian Nodal, May 11, 2024, wne
“(Entre Paréntesis),” with Shakira, May 18, 2024, one
“¿Por Qué Sera?” with Maluma, August 10, 2024, one
“Hecha Pa’ Mi,” Dec. 14, 2024, one
“Me Jalo,” with Fuerza Regida, April 5, 2025, one
“¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” with Mister Chivo, Oct. 18

Beyond its Regional Mexican Airplay coronation, “¿Qué Haces Por Acá?” holds steady at its No. 4 high on the overall Latin Airplay chart for a second week, with a 2% gain in impressions, to 7 million.

If you ask someone about the Mount Rushmore of neo-soul, D’Angelo’s face sits squarely in the middle. An R&B marksman with genuine charisma and seduction skills, he never cheated the genre. Sure, he released only three albums in 20 years — but each drop was seismic. That’s why losing the icon at 51, early Tuesday (Oct. 14), cuts deeper than usual for the culture.

D’Angelo had an aura before Gen Z knew what that was. Sporting tight cornrows and a bandana draped across his forehead, he was the antithesis of a classic ’90s heartthrob. He wasn’t decked out in suits, whispering sweet nothings in your girl’s ear — he had hood appeal. He delivered ghetto gospel, channeling the reverence of his minister father while preaching his own testaments of love, sex, and relationships. His 1995 slam-dunk debut Brown Sugar is a sacred text for modern R&B, oozing the sly coolness that made D’Angelo one-of-one. While his tenor and falsetto did the heavy lifting, it was his daredevil pen that kept us entranced. If the title track was the appetizer to his storybook career, his Hot 100 top 10 hit “Lady” started the main course. During a freak’n-focused moment in ‘90s male R&B, “Lady” put the priority on the long-term romance, making such relationships a badge of honor. 

Though cats tried to replicate his Main Character Energy, D’Angelo put his peers to shame with “Untitled (How Does It Feel).” Dripping with sexual innuendos – not that you could even understand all of them on first listen, so overtaken with the spirit was his vocal – he delivered a masterclass in how to woo women in the bedroom in under seven minutes. And if the song wasn’t enough, the risqué video put the entire music industry on notice: The sculpted singer caused a tizzy, forcing his competition to run to the gym after he brought abs along with vocals to the picnic. Despite a five-year layoff between 1995’s Brown Sugar and 2000’s Voodoo, the latter was well worth the wait. With the rich sonics and layered textures on B-side cuts like “Chicken Grease” and “The Line,” you knew this level of genius wasn’t some overnight concoction.

Still, as magnetic as “Untitled” was, the mental scarring it left on D’Angelo was profound, turning him into a recluse. The death of a close friend fueled his alcohol addiction. He removed himself from the public eye, nearly undoing his venerable legacy. He and Lauryn Hill existed in a vacuum of their own — indelible legacy, jaded by the industry. We would see little of D’Angelo again until 2014, nearly 14 years after the release of his seminal sophomore album. In D’s case, his Midas touch for crystallizing Black music beyond radio and mainstream stood tall in a room full of imitators. His third album, Black Messiah, earned universal acclaim — a wonderland where funk, rock, and R&B flourished. Black Messiah became the soundtrack to a socially volatile moment, as police killings and political reckonings changed the landscape during Obama’s second-term in the ‘10s. 

D’Angelo didn’t have the most robust discography. He didn’t clinch his place in R&B lore with gangbuster hits – only “Lady” ever even reached the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10. Instead, he made moments: ones that last forever, ones that transcend the genre and the culture. Moments that remind you that not every hero needs a cape or superhuman strength to uplift the world. Sometimes, a pen, a studio, and a captivating story are all it takes.
